Seth took a deep breath. He held out the latest death
threat letter he received. Sara stood up, walked around her desk, and yanked it
out of his hand.
“When did it arrive? I thought John was dealing with
the mail before it got to any of the cast.” She studied it as Seth remained
silent. “Well?” she asked, confirming her contempt for Seth.
He shook his head. “I don’t know. I found it under my
door when I got up.”
Sara raised her eyebrows. “Well, someone must have seen
who did it. There are security people everywhere and it can’t be easy to stuff
a letter under the door of a trailer.”
“It’s no good looking at me like that. I got up, took a
shower, wandered into the kitchenette, and there it was on the floor by the
door. Has anyone else received one?”
Sara sighed. “No. You are the only one getting them
now. I just wonder if it’s some woman you pissed off. I mean, there have been
so many.”
Seth looked down at the faux parquet, vinyl floor of
her office.
“If that’s what you think,” he said softly. Leaving her
with the letter still in her hand, he stalked out of the administration
trailer. Once out in the crisp, sunlit morning, Seth allowed himself to feel
the pain fully. He walked over to the river that ran by The Village—as the cast
and crew called the place—where all the residential trailers were parked. The
whole place was alive with people. Seth heard the sounds of the scene being
filmed in the distance. He wasn’t in the shoot that day and was thankful for
it. He stared at the fast flowing river as it ran by, winding all the way
through where movie sets had been placed. The sun gave it several dimensions of
color, light, and shade. Seth picked out the different greens he liked. He
thought about what Sara said. So, she still thinks I was unfaithful to her.
That hurts like hell…even after six months. I was never unfaithful to her. That
was a spiteful lie.
Seth ran a hand through his hair and looked around him.
He saw a bench seat down by the riverbank. He walked over to it and sat down.
When they were together, he thought he loved Sara and that she loved him. But
she couldn’t have…
He thought about the way she dropped him after the
first letter arrived, preferring to believe some anonymous hate mail to his
protestations of innocence. He realized she never loved him. Seth sighed and
leaned forward, his hands pressed together between his knees as he thought about
it all. He wasn’t a womanizer—in fact he felt very short on women’s company. He
met Sara in the studios before they went on location. It was his first real
relationship in two years and broke a drought for him. His work kept him busy
and tired, so he certainly didn’t have a bunch of irate ex-lovers trailing him
around or sending him hate mail. Seth heard the sound of the planned explosion
on set and looked up. Smoke drifted in the air behind the low hills across the
river. He left his coffee on the kitchenette table in his trailer in the hurry
to give Sara the letter but wanted it now. He stood up and walked back to his
trailer, promising himself he would stop feeling hurt about Sara. It hurt too
much. He would never love another woman. This would be the last time.

...a hot and romantic story...
This book is romance with a difference. The weaving of a sensual
story with a detective angle makes The Last Time an excellent book.
The suspense and the erotic angle of the book keep the reader
glued to the story.
I love their banter!
